Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 25-01-2012
Hey guys, I'm peeved off with my coilovers bottoming out still, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows the sizes of the springs or could recommend places for upgrades
Size's and specs would be awesome
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 25-01-2012
Normal coilover springs are 2.25" not sure on length probably 9" then a helper spring also.
Im going for 300lb springs probably 8" and no helpers. My mate has a name of a company that do these for £31 a spring will try and get the name!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 25-01-2012
Okay mate, I don't have helper springs.. never have Lol
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 25-01-2012
Ok haha. Are they wound all the way down?
But 300lb springs should do the trick, will be solid then!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 25-01-2012
I'm going to find out what standard 2.25' from Avo gtz's are and then I'll work out what will be better
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 25-01-2012
Fair enough! When you do let me know! I know I have different coilovers but should give me a rough ball park figure!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 25-01-2012
Yeah, expect they all have the same spring rate.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 25-01-2012
Yep! Im just going to whack some solid springs on the front. Getting gaz golds for the rear!

^ Like your spine much?
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 25-01-2012
We're young, we can handle it
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 26-01-2012
I need it to be solid as my car is going a lot lower so if I take people in it I don't want the whole thing scraping on the floor!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 26-01-2012
My coilovers just keeps bottoming out on my country roads
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 26-01-2012
Damn Somerset haha.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Connor - 26-01-2012
Gaz golds? Serious over kill mate lol
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 26-01-2012
Ye I may just get the ordinary gaz adjustables. Haha.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Connor - 26-01-2012
Yeah those will be fine, cause golds aren't stiffer (gigidy) they just work better in ways only understandable by rippthrough
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 26-01-2012
Ok. Well it's not costing me anything as they are money my gf owese plus a valentines day present hence why I said about the golds haha.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Connor - 26-01-2012
Well, if she's paying...
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 26-01-2012
Exactly! Haha.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 26-01-2012
I'm still on my shitty original gti6 shocks on the rear. I bought some Avo rear ones but they're f*cked £30 down the drain.. Lol

Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 26-01-2012
Let us know about the AVO Spring rate, ive got these lowered about 40mm and im generally not that happy. What to go with a higher spring rate.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 26-01-2012
About the same as me then dude, The spring rate's shocking isn't it?
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 26-01-2012
Terrible to be honest mate, however with the damper set to full they are obviously overdamped which makes me feel more comfortable in getting stiffer springs. 300 lbs doesnt sound bad at all! Like i say im not slammed to the ground so was really disapointed with them!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 26-01-2012
Do you know what the SR is that they send out standard?

I've got some apex ones you can have for a tenner if you want em?
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 26-01-2012
Not a clue Jacko, im thinking 2.25ish which means they are compressed 4 inches with just the car on its own wheels, before you even start driving.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 26-01-2012
Hmmm.. I might go just over 300lbs
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 26-01-2012
Let me know how it goes!
